Blog Tour: Crikey a Bodyguard by Kathryn Freeman*

From the moment I read the blurb of this book I knew it was different, whether or not that was a good thing for me was going to have to wait until I cracked open this book. Now I love my romances and this was definitely something I really enjoyed. Here is the blurb so you can see what I mean when I say different:

'She’s got the brains, he’s got the muscle …

When Kelly Bridge’s parents insist on employing a bodyguard for her protection, she’s not happy. Okay, so maybe not every woman is on the cusp of developing a vaccine against a potential biological terrorist attack – but crikey, it’s not like she’s a celebrity! 

Ben Jacobs flunked spectacularly out of school, so he knows his new client Dr Kelly Bridge spells trouble for him. But on a conference trip to Rome he finds things are worse than he thought. Not only is he falling for the brilliant scientist, he’s also become horribly aware she’s in grave danger. As they go on the run, dodging bullets and kidnappers, can he resist his feelings and keep her safe?'

So my main worry with this book was if there was going to be too much 'sciencey' words that I wasn't going to understand but I need not have worried as there was just enough science stuff to keep you in the loop but not confuse you. The book as a whole turned out really interesting and something I enjoyed immensely. 

So when it comes to the romance of this book I have to admit it was not at the for front of this book, which was a refreshing change. The romance I found was in the background but there were hints of it. The only way I can describe it is that its the same thing they do in a TV series. They keep you in suspense waiting for that first kiss, first touch, that first hint of romance between the two main characters and this book does not disappoint. The suspense makes you keep turning the page, until suddenly you are so invested in the story that you don't want to stop reading. 

Something else that kept you reading was the way the story was written. It was well written in this bloggers opinion. Not only that it gave you the right amount of detail to keep you interested in the danger and the science. Such a perfect combination. I also love how completely opposite the two main characters are, even though they both have their moments where they show their depth. 

Now let's talk about the Author, Kathryn Freeman is a former Pharmacist, now medical writer who also writes Romance.  She can go from a racing heart due to a medical condition to the cause being a hunky hero. She lives with her husband and two teenage boys. Her husband may not be the most  romantic man around valentines day but his unstinting support about her career change proves love isn't just about Hearts and Flowers and heroes come in many disguises. 

My final thoughts about this book are that I am so glad I took a chance on this romance. I absolutely loved the book and look forward to discovering more of Kathryn's work and those hunky heroes. This book is available now and you can get your copy HERE.
